Basil Bean Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Ruth Ann Ramuscak

"I had a recipe for three-bean salad and added garbanzo beans for taste and color. It soon became my father and father-in-law's favorite - that made me happy since 'the moms' are excellent cooks. Now for picnics, I'm asked to 'bring the beans'. -Ruth Ann Ramuscak, Merrillville, Indiana"
